The NCA Soirée is Northside Catholic Academy’s largest annual fundraiser. This multi-faceted event supports the NCA Guardian Angel Scholarship Fund and both academic & facility improvements. The Guardian Angel Scholarship Fund provides opportunities for students, who may not otherwise have the means, to be a part of our remarkable community. This fund, and many school improvements, cannot be sustained without this essential fundraising event! T

Football

The Big Red Football program is part of the Council II-3A league. This Catholic grade school football program has provided a great opportunity for our students to participate in a competitive football program. Big Red is comprised of students from NCA, Hardey Prep, St. Matthias, and St. Hilary. Our mission is focused on Teamwork, Sportsmanship and FUN-damentals of the game, and all students in grades 4-8 are welcome.

$125 registration for all grades 4-8. Registration fee includes all equipment, including helmet and pads, as well as a personalized jersey that the players keep after the season. Players are responsible for cleats and mouth guard. Late registrations incur a $50 fee and are at the coach’s discretion.

We never want any child to not join a team because of the cost. If you need a reduction in fees, please contact our Business Manager at 773-743-6277.

Students in grades 4-6 play on the JV team.

Students in grades 7-8 play on the Varsity team.

JV and Varsity practice together four days a week, Tuesday – Friday, at Rogers Park near the Middle School campus. The season runs late August – early November. Practices begin in late August. Games are on Saturdays and an occasional Sunday in September and October. Varsity participates in playoffs in early November.
